Ow88 I went through the same stuff here, the order will say successfull, it will also say "shipped", but you wont be able to download, then shortly after you will get an email saying that the order was cancelled.

You don't need to use always vpn, any american proxy will work.

I believe there is also one called hotspot shield?

To get around this myself I setup a proxy on a virtual server in the states.

I tried hotspot shield already, but I don't think it worked. Oh well I'll try it again some time and let you guys know if it worked or not.
